Hey guys, there will be a lot of protests in major cities in the U.S. and abroad marking the first anniversary of the hangings of two Iranian teenagers who were murdered because of their sexual orientation. The teens were originally charged with rape, but human rights groups have since come forward with new evidence that they were wrongly accused. In DC, there will be a protest at 5PM inside Dupont Circle and in NYC at 5PM at the Iranian Embassy.
Other cities scheduled to hold protests include Fort Lauderdale; Provincetown, Mass.; San Diego; San Francisco; Sacramento; Vancouver; Toronto; Amsterdam; London; Stockholm; Marseilles; Moscow; Brussels; Mexico City; Warsaw; Frankfort; Berlin; and Vienna.
